O'Flynn/Lordan limber up for Donny with Laytown win

Outsider Branded may have caught the eye with his Singspiel, Bosra Sham parentage but Pivotal Rock (by Pivotal out of Irish 1,000 Guineas & Oaks runner-up Kitza) has plenty to recommend him on pedigree too and he backed that up with his performance in landing the Gilna's Cottage Inn Maiden at Laytown under Wayne Lordan. Thu 08th Sep

After race at Dundalk Fri, 13th Apr, 2012 (1st)

We got a nice handy lead and he quickened well when I asked him to in the home straight. He stuck it out well and I was always confident he'd hold on. (AM & EM)
